Tales From the Yawning Portal digs up, revamps classic D&D dungeons

Dungeons & Dragons is literally taking a page from its own book and doing something fans of the venerable roleplaying game will cheer.

Tales From the Yawking Portal, a new 248-page hardcover, will contain seven classic D&D adventure modules spanning the game’s 43-year history, updated for its current 5th edition’s rules.

The rejuvenated scenarios represent some of the most famous D&D quests from the game’s Satanic panic heydey to more recent fare:

The Tomb of Horrors (1978)

White Plume Mountain (1979)

Against the Giants (1981)

The Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan (1981)

The Sunless Citadel (2000)

The Forge of Fury (2000)

Dead in Thay (2014)

Tales From the Yawking Portal will be released March 24 at specialty game shops and April 4 in the wider market. It will feature a new cover illustration from Tyler Jacobsen depicting Durnan the Wanderer, owner of the Yawning Portal tavern in the Forgotten Realms campaign world’s city of Waterdeep.
